Under Vardon was inducted into the Georgia Hall of Fame on January 7,1995. Sargent learned to design and manage golf courses, as well as how to play and teach the game. He competed in the The British Open in 1900 and finished fourth. Vardon encouraged Sargent to emigrate to the United States. In 1907 Sargent married Beatrice Marguerite Pearse and in 1908 they moved to Canada, where Sargent worked at the Royal Ottawa Club. In 1909 they moved to Sudbury,Vermont and while playing out of the Hyde Manor Club there George won the 1909 U. S. Open at the Englewood Golf Club in New Jersey,where as an unknown he came from behind on the final day to win the title. Following the 1909 win George was invited as head pro at the Chevy Chase Country Club where he served four years, followed by four years at Interlachen in Minneapolis. From 1909 through much of the 1910s he was perhaps the most successful professional golfer in the U.S.,winning the Canadian Open in 1912 and finishing in the top 10 in a number of other important tournaments. When the Professional Golf Association was created in 1916 Sargent was a charter member and was elected Vice President. In 1919 George Sargent succeeded Arthur Smith,another player from England, as the second professional at Scioto Country Club. (Smith lived at the southeast corner of First Avenue and Wyandotte Road.) From 1920 to 1925 the Sargents owned the home at 1520 Wyandotte Road, and from 1925 to 1932 they owned 1346 Lincoln Road. Sargent served five consecutive terms as the 3rd PGA President 1921-1926. In 1926 he was instrumental in capturing the U.S.Open for Scioto Country Club. Bobby Jones won the 1926 title, coming from behind in the final round. Jones asked Sargent to move to Atlanta and become head pro at his country club,but Sargent declined,until 1932 when he finally accepted Jones’ repeated invitations and moved to Atlanta’s East Lakes Country Club. During his years at Scioto George Sargent had considerable influence on many Tri-Village young men,including Joe Thomas. Sargent introduced innovations into the golf world, including his 1926 radio golf lessons (repeated by Joe Thomas George Sargent, 1909 Open Champion, Scioto’s in the 1930s to help Marble Cliff’s Aladdin Country Club raise second Pro and President of PGA of America.

  • Vol. 11, No.2 Development of Local Green Sections This Number of the Bulletin Contains Reports of the Activities of 30 Organizat
    22 Vol. 11, No.2 Development of Local Green Sections This number of the Bulletin contains reports of the activities of 30 organizations interested primarily in golf course turf. The Green Section is not directly responsible for the formation nor the manage- ment of any of the organizations listed in this number, but it has from their start cooperated in one way or another with most of them. Some of these organizations are confined to members of green com- mittees and some to greenkeepers, while others are organized on a broader basis to admit to membership all individuals who are inter- ested in growing turf. The large number of these organizations is significant in indicating the growing interest in turf problems. All of these organizations have been formed since the establishment of the Green Section of the United States Golf Association in 1920. It is interesting to note that the first local green section was started in Philadelphia in 1921. The first organization of greenkeepers was the Greenkeepers' Club of New England, which held its first meeting in 1924. The purpose in presenting all these reports in one number of the Bulletin is to call attention to the large number of organizations that are interested in turf culture throughout the country. The reports show that some of these organizations have extensive programs for the year, while others are relatively inactive. A review of the many programs given in the following reports should furnish program com- mittees of these organizations with many helpful suggestions for the 1931

    Gaining Professional Experiences Across the United States: A Summary of University of Nebraska-Lincoln Turf Internships 2012-14 Internships are a key component of a student’s academic program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They allow students to explore different areas of turfgrass management, make connections with future employers, learn about warm- and cool-season turfgrasses under different growing conditions, and experience a professional work environment. Two internships are required as part of each student’s academic program, and students are strongly encouraged to have at least one of these internships at an out-of-state facility. From 2012-14, 45 students completed 67 turf internships for academic credit in 25 different states. The images below represent each location where a student completed an internship. For locations with multiple interns over the three years, the number of students who interned at that location is listed in parentheses after the facility name.

  • Inaugural Version Of
    Inaugural Version of September 12-15, 2018 Message from The Centennial Chairmen Glenn Brander & Jeff Haar rentwood Country Club has a surprisingly long history. In fact, in 1916, Brentwood’s first 9 holes B opened, and one year later, its second 9 holes opened. Over the past several decades, Brentwood has hosted many great member-guest tournaments, most no- tably The Brentwooder. The Brentwooder has provided our members ONE opportunity each year to play alongside a guest of their choice in a meaningful, highly competitive, match play tournament. The Brent- wooder has long been, and will continue to be, a premiere tournament at Brentwood Country Club. In the past several years, as our competitive golf culture has grown, our Brentwooder tournament has sold out with a wait list. And so, many of our members were shut out from playing in the tournament. A realization set in that there was clearly an appetite from our membership for competitive, member-guest tournament golf, and one event a year wasn’t going to satisfy this appetite. It has long been a desire of ours to tie our club’s rich history, our heritage, to a singular, annual event. It was clear to us that the event needed to be a member guest tournament, one that doesn’t compete with The Brentwooder, but instead compliments it. The tournament would occur at a different time of the year, and with a format that differed from the Brentwooder’s match play format. With all of this in mind, a tournament sub-committee was formed, one that represented a healthy cross section of our membership (young-to-not-so-young).
